Kaege Retro Porsche 911: The Joker
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- Two years ago, we featured a “Kaege Retro 911” after being thoroughly impressed by what its creator, Roger Kaege, was able to put together out of a 993 and an array of OEM Porsche parts. We weren’t the only ones who took notice, and today we’re featuring William Lai’s Kaege-customized Porsche pride and joy. Initial searches for what you could call “high-end hot-rod” 911s led William to Singer of course, but he was swayed by the fact that Kaege used a 993 base rather than an older 964, with the use of OEM parts being an added bonus in terms of maintenance and replaceability. Indeed as William points out, every piece that you can take off of the base chassis is new, from the fully rebuilt engine to every last strand of the wiring harness. When it comes to personalized Porsches, or any marque of course, it all comes down to subjective preference, but as William alludes to, it’s impossible not to notice the people putting up thumbs and peace signs when he drives by.

I never thought hearing an Asian businessman say ‘bad ass car’ would give me so much joy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed as well 😂
Same here, he said it with a straight face, but still said it 🤣
Saying it in English.
Rice courage 🤣
That’s a beautiful purple. I love the Joker theme. Great vehicle and great owner.
This is something else... Kudos to the owner, respect, this car is a life achievement, nothing more, nothing less!
0:46 i love how the front-right wheel dose not spin, when mounting that ramp.
A German car - inspired by American comic books, and owned by an Asian man who speaks English. Clearly, this guy is a citizen of the world!
Everyone in Hong Kong Speaks English Although not many speak it well!
copied from an American overhaul, which is run by an Englishman
Or, more likely, THE SCUM OF THE AUTOMOTIVE COMMUNITY!!!!
That's the world at its best rare enough
but with good taste, could be many citizen worlds man but with good taste a few.
As someone of a Cantonese background who's grown up watching Hong Kong crime drama films, there's something really romantic and erotic about seeing a 911 drive through Hong Kong. This guys has mad Chow Yun Fat boss vibes haha. Hoping Petrolicious does more international pieces with global locations and regional car classics!
Give me top 3 list of those movies please.
You want kickass Hong Kong movies,starring Chow Yun-fat?
Watch,the John Woo movies he starred in:
"The Killer",
"Better Tommorrow part 1 & 2"
"Hard Boiled"
I think Chow Yun-fat, even in his gangster mode, would sound more relaxed. Back to the Porsche, about 13 years ago, I had the opportunity to take a ride in a 993 from Hong Kong Island back to Kowloon. One word: Awesome!
found another porsche video from HK

I've met him before, he's a cool guy real down to earth, also a real OG
"A car is made to be driven"
Roihan54 It‘s quite sad that he has to explicity say that. All these expensive hypercars are meant to push to boundairies of what is possible yet they sit in a garage never being able to see the light of day.
@@iamwritingrightnow8217
yeah, i liked that he said that because it's what i was thinking. i'd like to think that if i had a lot of money i wouldn't buy cars that i would hardly drive. i'd like to think that i'd rent them because i want to drive them but im not much of a car person and i'd only really own a lot of cars to show off my wealth. but i can also see owning a lot because you fell for the feel of it and then you keep getting something subjectively better than the last.
YES!
"A car is made to be driven." No truer words have ever been spoken.
Except when it comes to Porsches, of course......
Unless it's a Ferrari. Ferraris are meant to be looked at and porsche are meant to be driven.
YES!
Finally someone who got it right, "SOME parts have no speed limit"
Last november I was walking in Wan Chai, towards a nice gin & tonic around 7pm and suddendly I saw that instant classic purple beauty at the traffic light, with a nice gentleman driving after a day of work. I couldn’t believe my eyes and I took one of my dearest pictures that evening. Well done Mr. Lai, keep drving it.
I walked through Wan Chai a couple of times many years ago (my granddaughter laughs and says, "Oh Grandpa, that was waaay back in another century!!") but there were no Porsches of any type around at that time... just tiny little markets with dried fish hanging from the racks. It was a very busy place.
Looks magnificent in that color, the attention to detail is stunning, they even put Heath Ledger's face on the headrest. Respect.
Refreshing after seeing so many Singer 911s.
Can’t agree more on his comment at the beginning, saying that it would calm you down when going down to the garage and see your beloved car after a day of work. I guess this is one of the biggest meanings for owning a car in Hong Kong. Great job by Petrolicious and hope to see more stories from Hong Kong and anywhere else in the world!
From the 4:00 mark onwards, Mr Lai perfectly explains what "drive tastefully" means.
Bill, thanks for sharing! Beautiful car by Kaaege. Dig the “Joker” theme as well! 👍🏽
Nice to see a company using the 993 as a donor car rather than a 964. Big thumbs up from me. Beautiful car.
What a cool guy. Hello from the US Mr. Lai!
Thats one lovely car. Cool story and neat design with a background to it.
All that with the irony that parts of the Joker film were filmed in HK when Heath Ledger starred the Joker.
A cool little head nod to Heath.
Wish him many safe road trips with it.
Awesome build. This has not helped my obsession with Retro modern build Porsche’s. Absolutely stunning!
This sir deserves a medal of honor. That´s just a magnificent car.
OK........That is now one of my dream Porsches! Absolutely love that Ultra-Violet Purple Color. One of the best Porsche colors ever developed. Although Singer is without a doubt the "Ultimate" Porsche, this is a close second in my opinion. I wouldn't mind having one of these bad boys in my garage for sure.
Owning and maintaining a super rare car in a country it did not originate from (or even manufactured in the first place) is another level altogether. Your pockets must be extremely deep
Whoa! The right front wheel completely lifted when he was transitioning the parking garage up ramp.
The car is awesome…💟
Thank you Bill for sharing your car with us!
You can clearly see how he enjoys this car, because of his impressions. Especially when he says: a car has to be driven... Really cool video by the way
Those of us who live in the Porsche world often have the "993 vs 964" debate. I am forever firmly entrenched in the 964 side (I've got two, both of which I bought long before prices skyrocketed.) But this is one high-level, hot rod 911 and one 993 I would love to see in my garage.
Got both. No debate here.
Absolutely Stunning 911, and built to be a beast with all the modern touches. Super Cool🤙🇺🇸🙏
First time seen a Petrolicious video shooting in Hong Kong. I find all elements are very close to me where I'm living in now. The feeling is so different than other videos in this channel. I wish to see more videos shooting in HK in the future. Very pround of the 911 and the owner in this video. 😊😊
A purple Porsche would be the ideal villain’s car like the Joker
Nice work. Great to see one mans vision for his vehicle. Love the retro styling. Collectors cars for sure..
Absolutely stunning the glad you kept the colour because it looks good.
Really a piece of art ... thanks for sharing !!!
WOW.....I totally love the theme N hats off to you sir on keeping the color, Very Joker!!
If I win the lottery, I’m having one built also. This car is incredible......in every way. Beautiful.
A car is made to be driven ... No truer words have ever been spoken good Sir 👏🏾
I’m gonna say it: Joker artwork on the dash of a 911 is just ridiculous, especially for a grown-ass man :D
Respect for keeping it purple, though, great build.
Exactly my thoughts. But, you have to be aware that he is from Japan where cartoons, gaming and stuff like that have huge impact on citizens.
@@macarows4014 it's hong kong
@@taztdaras I made mistake, whole Asia is under huge influence.
I'm a "grown-ass man" myself, but I think its quite cool, because its different. Its a style dedicated to something this person likes a lot. So why not let them? There are plenty of these hyper kids that rebuild old VW's, Toyotas, Nissans or whatever and put ridiculous bodykits on them and paint designs that look like a 3 year old drew on the wall.
If thats what they enjoy, let 'm enjoy it.
I think the Joker theme is quite fitting, also with parts of the film were filmed in HK when Heath Ledger starred the Joker (also used on the artwork on the car), it gives a sort of drivable memorial to Heath.
It adds a touch of whimsy, but it's certainly not my style. Some grown-ass porsche drivers have stuffed animals in their back seats.
So awesome, I love Purple a great Porsche color, this is one sweet retromod!
Congratulations to the owner William Lai on a nice build
Gorgeous car, great color and nice graphics! With Heath Ledgers Joker on the dash, very cool!!
Fantastic. As good as it gets. What a work of art.
Wow a joker theme 911. Just beautiful in that purple
Based on 993 with 993 engine refresh and tuned ! Well done ! Liked it so much ...
Brilliant car Bill and thanks for the video awesome viewing with the world being so busy relaxing with your car it's awesome I go into the garage with my motorcycle but the same sense of purpose is all over the world working on my landrover also respect to you 🌍🍀
This is the most beautiful 911 I've ever seen. THIS IS CRAZY!
That is a fantastic build! Enjoy it!
Really beautiful!!! This is my DREAM !!!
love the retro look with that color... perfect. the name is soo ... right.
2:52 When he said "a badass car" is when my heart felt some type of way.
Seen Joker the “Bad Ass Car” a few times in real life
It’s really a beauty
Love the car!! Can't swallow the Joker theme!
Good on you Bill. Your car looks great. Enjoy.
No words, simply beautiful!
Bill, awesome car enjoy in good health my friend!
Oh gosh, I saw you guys making the firm at tai mo shan! Great stuff
Just an incredible build.
Beautiful car, well done Sir
What a beauty! Happy motoring..

Are a lot of people are into italian and english sports cars and I admit there are a few really nice Ferraris etc, but to me personally, there is nothing like the 911, the level of engineering and the precision over a period of centuries are remarkable. I am talking about sports cars, not super cars, like the McLaren F1 or stuff like that.
EVERYTHING PETROLICIOUS DOES, AND FEATURES IS JUST PURE PERFECTION. IT'S ART IN AND OF ITSELF! 😍😍
proud to be on board! ⚡💙🏁
that is just beautiful, I like the old headlights compared to the new angled ones.
Amazing car!! I find it better than a Singer in every way.
Hats off~
It is so rare to get a HK-registered 993 manual, as there were lots of tiptronic 993 introduced that time.
love the Heath ledger embroidery on the headrests omf
Beautiful car and love the color! Great owner too.
So insane! love it. I thought it was 964 at first and was surprised when he said it was a 993 donor car
This is the very best. Incredible car in an incredible place.
Nice car & Story 👍
Stunningly beautiful!!
Veeeery nice car. Al details are perfect.
I love the history too!!!
0:47 wheel in the air
My Cayman does the same thing on my mums driveway.. Gotta love Porsche!
Well, this is really beautiful!
Beautiful, just looks perfect, those rims are an amazing hat tip to the original Fuchs.
Watching this is making me keep my Porsche 911 1979 SC
It's never too late to divorce while u still can, LOL.
Beautiful Porsche !!
been in that exact car when it was still back in Germany...truly beautiful build! i thought the owner is a little younger, but ovviously i was wrong 🙃 greetings to Hong Kong ;))
VERY NICE AND CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
Piece of art indeed..and bad ass 😊
Brilliant joker theme throughout the car
that car is on the official Kaege website. I was wondering whose it was.
Lovely vintage car ❤️
Nice car,nice owner,nice video.nice nice nice
You could fit a body in that trunk. Very nice car
What a car and owner, awesome.
Wait, a 911 on Petrolicous? No way! In all seriousness, cool car and a cool guy.
The stenciling on the seats is really cool
An absolute dream car.
Great clip. Thank you.
BTW not my cup of tea really, but the craftmanship, the integrity of the design and the whole stance of the car is awesome!
The German Singer, beautiful hand made Cars!!
Congrats and enjoy😀
Billy sir you are BADASS!
Beautiful machine!
